Here's why I don't want a 9 game schedule.
possible future A&M schedule:
Patsie
Alabama
USCw(home and home contract signed)
LSU
Florida
Patsie
South Carolina
Ole Miss
Auburn
Miss. State
Arkansas
Texas - Austin
You have a chance of playing 7 or 8 top 10 teams. At the very worst you're playing 5 top 10s with that schedule. Unless SOS is factored way more heavily, it's almost impossible to get into an 8 team playoff. You could have the 15th best team in the country and still go 5-7.

You should have thought of that before joining the big boys in the SEC.

They were desperate to do whatever it took to get away from daddy.

All I know if the pansy arse PAC 12 (& who else?) can play nine game conference schedules, the SEC certainly can, too.
I'm tired of all the whiners around here worrying about if LSU has to play one more tough East team.
I'm tired of hearing about these permanent OOC games. You're in the SEC, not the ACC. if you really want to play these schools so much, carry your asses over to the ACC offices in Greensboro and sign up to play in their league.
And screw wanting to play old foes for the Big 12. What conference did you just tell to frick off? Now you want to run back and play them a few times?
And lastly, screw these lame arse four OOC games. If you really enjoy watching FCS level football, then go to one of their games and you can watch two FCS teams at one time. in a small high school stadium, too.

I tend to agree with all of your comments except this one. While the ACC vs SEC games are historical now it has more to do with the media money than the history any more. Like it or not the SEC works for ESPN and those games are part of why the SEC media deal is so valuable. If I am gonna defend the sanctity of Bama vs Vols I am gonna defend the money these ACC vs SEC games bring to the rest of the conference and that means more money in the coffers of the SEC west teams.

Bottom line is the fans want a nine game schedule, so we should get it. Screw the money, screw what it does to your team's bowl chances, give the people that put food on your table something they want.
